Free Shipping
Decor Outdoor offers free regular shipping on all orders shipped to residential or commercial addresses within the contiguous United States. Orders are delivered Monday through Friday (excluding holidays).Drop Shipping
We are an online-only luxury furniture and lighting boutique, and do not have a warehouse. Consequently, all orders are drop shipped directly from our manufacturers to your door. If your order includes items from more than one manufacturer, you will receive multiple deliveries. Because we are dependent on the on-hand inventory of our manufacturing partners, some items listed on our site may not actually be available right away. Please call us at 888.784.4644 or via our contact form with any stocking questions and we'll get in touch with the appropriate manufacturer for answers, before you place your order.Ground Shipping
Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL. Orders typically take 2-3 business days to process and in-stock items will usually be delivered 3-5 days from the date that they ship (depending on origin and destination). If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.Description
Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 1x AXS-Kit 700c 22 Carbon Gravel Bike
Some of the widest gear ranges in gravel riding come from borrowing directly from mountain biking, and the Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 1x AXS-Kit 700c 22 does exactly that. It pairs a SRAM Force eTap AXS shifter with a SRAM X01 Eagle AXS rear derailleur and a 10-50T Eagle cassette — a deliberate mixed-groupset build, sometimes called a mullet setup, that gives genuinely mountain bike-level low gearing on a drop-bar gravel frame. A single 42T Force 1 crank keeps the drivetrain simple, with nothing to manage on the front end. The rigid Carbon CC frame keeps weight down, DT Swiss XR 361 Asym rims give a durable, race-capable wheelset, and SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors handle stopping duty. Maxxis Ravager tyres at 700x40c balance speed and grip for mixed gravel terrain, all offered in road-style centimeter sizing (52 through 60).
Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 1x Overview
This build takes the same mullet-drivetrain approach found on Santa Cruz’s other performance-oriented Stigmata builds, pairing road-style SRAM Force shifting with a mountain bike-derived Eagle AXS rear derailleur and cassette. The result is an unusually wide gear range for a drop-bar bike the 10-50T Eagle cassette gives genuinely low gearing for steep, loose climbs that a standard gravel-specific cassette can’t match.
Like the other rigid Stigmata builds, this frame is built for efficient, direct riding rather than rough-terrain absorption, without a suspension fork or dropper post.
Features and Benefits of Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 1x
Mixed Force/Eagle AXS drivetrain
A SRAM Force eTap AXS shifter drives a SRAM X01 Eagle AXS rear derailleur, paired with a wide-range Eagle 10-50T cassette and a single 42T Force 1 crank. This mullet configuration gives genuinely low mountain bike-level gearing for steep or loose climbs, a real advantage over a standard gravel-specific 1x cassette.
Wireless shifting
Fully wireless AXS shifting removes cable routing and maintenance from the equation, keeping shift performance consistent regardless of mud, dust, or cable wear.
Durable chain and cassette
An SRAM XX1 Eagle chain, built for mountain bike use, pairs with the wide-range cassette for reliable performance under the kind of load and grit a gravel bike sees on rough terrain.
Hydraulic disc braking
SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes with SRAM CLX R 160mm Centerlock rotors give strong, consistent stopping power in wet and dry conditions.
Race-oriented wheelset
DT Swiss XR 361 Asym rims on DT Swiss 350 hubs, laced with Sapim Race spokes, give a durable, race-capable wheel package suited to mixed-terrain riding and competition.
Grippy, protective tyres
Maxxis Ravager tyres at 700x40c with EXO protection balance rolling speed on hardpack with enough tread and puncture resistance for looser or rougher gravel.

Applications and Industries
- Gravel racing and long-distance riding requiring genuinely wide-range gearing
- Steep, loose, or technical climbing routes where mountain bike-level low gears help
- Riders who want wireless AXS shifting with a simplified single-chainring setup
- Riders transitioning from road racing who want familiar centimeter sizing
- Mixed-terrain adventure riding where a standard gravel cassette range falls short
Why Choose This Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 1x AXS-Kit 700c 22
Most drop-bar gravel bikes top out around a 44 or 46-tooth largest cog, which is fine on moderate terrain but runs out of range on genuinely steep, loose climbs. This build’s mullet setup — a Force AXS shifter driving an Eagle AXS derailleur and 10-50T cassette — solves that by borrowing directly from mountain biking, giving noticeably lower gearing than a standard gravel 1x setup. Wireless shifting keeps that performance consistent regardless of mud or cable wear, and the durable DT Swiss wheelset and Sapim spokes hold up to genuine mixed-terrain abuse. For a rider who wants the widest practical gear range on a drop-bar frame, this is a purpose-built option.
Quality Standards
Santa Cruz builds the Stigmata’s Carbon CC frame to the same engineering standards applied across every build kit in the range, regardless of drivetrain configuration.
Packaging Options
Bikes typically ship partially assembled in protective packaging, with final assembly (front wheel, handlebar alignment, brake bleeding, AXS drivetrain pairing) completed by a dealer or an experienced home mechanic familiar with wireless electronic groupsets.
Shipping and Export Information
Shipping timelines and export documentation vary by destination and order volume. Customers ordering internationally or in bulk should confirm current lead times and freight options directly with YM Racing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a “mullet” drivetrain, and why does this bike have one?
A mullet setup pairs a road-style shifter (here, SRAM Force AXS) with a mountain bike-derived rear derailleur and cassette (SRAM X01 Eagle AXS), giving a much wider gear range than a standard gravel-specific 1x cassette can offer.
How wide is the gear range on this bike?
The Eagle cassette runs 10-50T, paired with a single 42T crank, giving genuinely low gearing for steep or loose climbs, closer to a mountain bike range than a typical gravel bike.
Is the shifting wireless?
Yes. Both the SRAM Force AXS shifter and the X01 Eagle AXS rear derailleur are fully wireless.
Does this bike have a suspension fork?
The spec sheet provided doesn’t list a fork; this should be confirmed directly, as this build follows the same rigid pattern as Santa Cruz’s other Force and GRX Stigmata builds.
What tyres does it come with?
Maxxis Ravager 700x40c tyres with EXO puncture protection, front and rear.
How is sizing structured on this bike?
Road-style centimeter sizing (52, 54, 56, 58, 60cm), consistent with the other Force and GRX Stigmata builds.
What brakes does it use?
SRAM Force hydraulic disc brakes with SRAM CLX R 160mm Centerlock rotors, front and rear.
What colours are available?
Gloss Brut and Grey, and Gloss Lavender and Gloss Carbon.
Is this a good choice for steep or technical gravel climbing?
Yes. The 10-50T Eagle cassette gives noticeably lower gearing than a standard gravel 1x setup, making steep or loose climbs more manageable.
Is assembly required after delivery?
Yes. Bikes ship partly assembled, and setup, including AXS drivetrain pairing and brake bleeding, should be completed by a shop experienced with wireless electronic components.
Conclusion
The Santa Cruz Stigmata Force 1x AXS-Kit 700c 22 pushes gravel gearing further than most drop-bar bikes go, borrowing a genuinely wide-range mountain bike cassette to handle climbs a standard gravel setup would struggle with. Wireless shifting keeps performance consistent through mud and rough conditions, and the durable wheelset holds up to real mixed-terrain use. For a rider chasing the widest practical gear range on a drop-bar frame, this build delivers exactly that.
